Any way to get "specials" to go into its own folder?

[hstamas 153]

I record a lot of Food Network programing for my wife. A lot of these series have many episodes earmarked as "specials". Right now, the recording engine in Emby just puts these shows at the top level of the series folder (see attached). Is there any way to get them to go into a "season 0" or "specials" folder?

Hi, where are they marked as specials?

[hstamas 153]

TVDB lists them as speclals. The example I posted is not listed within any of the seasons.

Ok the problem is that the recording guide data doesn't identify them as specials. In the guide, does it show a season number?

Yeah thats what I was thinking. I would have to wait for another "special" to show up in the guide to see if it has a season number or not.

You can manually create a "Season 00" folder, move those specials into it and rename them according to TVDB.

 

For example, the "Cowboy Christmas" episode would be:

 

"The Pioneer Woman - 0x02 - Cowboy Christmas"

 

Emby would then fetch the correct metadata.
